Abstract
Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever, caused by Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever virus (ALKV), is an arboviral infection which is further expanding in tropical and subtropical regions of the Western Asia. A number of Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever virus (ALKV) strains have been isolated from clinical cases representing Saudi Arabia and Egypt; however, the phylogenetic relationship of these particular isolates to those reported previously elsewhere in the world remains elusive. Based on the analysis of the envelope (E), and non-structural gene (NS3 and NS5), the phylogenetic and PASC analysis revealed the circulation of three sub-lineages (I-III) suggesting a continuous evolution. Also, the comparative genome analysis revealed the envelope gene to be a reliable genetic marker to elucidate the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of discrete strains of ALKV.
